If you’ve been dreaming about that life-changing win, the National Lottery EuroMillions is once again making headlines with jaw-dropping jackpots and hopeful players eager to turn their luck around. The latest EuroMillions draw saw a staggering £185 million prize up for grabs—and the anticipation is building as the jackpot rolls over to an estimated £199 million for the upcoming draw, potentially creating the UK’s biggest ever lottery winner.
The Numbers Everyone’s Talking About
On the night of Friday, May 30, 2025, the winning EuroMillions numbers were announced as 4, 7, 14, 33, 36 along with the Lucky Stars 1 and 5. While nobody hit the jackpot that evening, thousands of players celebrated smaller wins with 18 tickets matching all five numbers but missing the Lucky Stars, each pocketing a prize of over £11,000. The thrill continues as the jackpot grows, inviting more hopeful players to try their luck in the next draw.
What Makes EuroMillions So Exciting?
The EuroMillions lottery isn’t just about the big jackpot; it’s a game that has captured the imagination of millions across the UK and Europe since its inception in 2004. Drawn every Tuesday and Friday, EuroMillions offers the chance to win huge sums for the modest price of just £2.50 per ticket.
Not only can players win the jackpot by matching five numbers and two Lucky Stars, but every ticket also enters them into the UK Millionaire Maker, which guarantees one UK player £1 million in every draw—a prize that could instantly transform anyone’s life.
The History of Huge Wins in the UK
The UK has witnessed some spectacular lottery wins over the years. From an anonymous winner pocketing £195 million in 2022 to Joe and Jess Thwaite’s lucky £184 million Lucky Dip ticket earlier that same year, the EuroMillions jackpot has created a league of winners who now live far different lives.
Other record wins include a £170 million jackpot scooped in 2019 and the incredible £161 million jackpot taken home by Colin and Chris Weir in 2011. These stories are a reminder of the extraordinary potential behind those simple numbers.
What Could You Do With a £199 Million Jackpot?
The sheer magnitude of the jackpot inspires wild dreams—from traveling first-class around the world to buying a luxury home or making a significant impact on causes close to your heart. Imagine swapping your daily routine for a life filled with adventure, financial freedom, and the ability to give back.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn (the National Lottery operator), urges hopeful players: “We are on the verge of creating the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen. Get your tickets early to ensure you’ll be in with a chance of a massive life-changing win.”
How and When to Play
If you want to get in on the action, EuroMillions tickets can be purchased up until 7:30 PM on draw days (Tuesdays and Fridays). Besides EuroMillions, there are other lottery games like Lotto on Wednesdays and Saturdays, Set For Life on Mondays and Thursdays, and Thunderball with a top prize of £500,000, offering plenty of ways to play and win.
The Odds and the Dream
While the odds of winning the EuroMillions jackpot are dauntingly long, at around 1 in 139 million, the odds of winning any prize stand at a far friendlier 1 in 13. Every draw holds the promise of a new story—a story that could be yours.
